How to use this application package

Read the Instruction Guide to fill out your application forms.

Use the Application to Sponsor, Sponsorship Agreement and Undertaking (IMM 1344) form and Generic Application Form for Canada (IMM 0008). You can fill them out and save them using a computer. You will need Adobe Reader 10 or higher. You must also turn JavaScript on.

Filling out the forms on a computer is easier than filling them out by hand. It reduces the risk of mistakes that can slow down the application process.
